OFTIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. One good result at least has accrued from the diseutsi::, rind °there ise barren declamatien of the last fen.: sessions ; she Legislat ure h as ex hibi te d itself li * Fght of such in vompetencv to the country, that -0;1; pe4le are th e by the ineiliciency- of their re p r eseetativee to organise the unplianees necessary to a b -etter svetern of legislation. Under the impres:=ion et in defeating the measures of Reform proposed by - Ministers in the last Session they had ffected the gre:d objectl of their party, as far as ?elates to domestic &fairs, the Tories now direct their whole energy egainst the foreign policy of the Administration. On this, ho7iever, we at present forbear to pronounce an opinion, because, vital as is its importance, and dangerous as is the consequence of imbecile or timid diplomacy, tho sef the. struggle within the bosom of the euontry must stemp the tcnour, characte r , and coleur tot* our foreign ixsiiry. The cue of the nation is at present to leok at Lame; that of the Tories, with opposite consistency, is to lank abroad for eviis to be redressed by internal agitation. 20 whatever sie'oject, however, popular attention may be directed, we would above all things impress on the public mind the necessity of adhering firmly to the object it may ropose for its accomplishment. Let there be no vacilla tion of purpose. It is for the weak and the wicked to pur• ate a tortuous policy, the direct and straightforward is the roily safe course for :he people. Individilals awl parties may endeavour to effect by wile what they are unable tr ' accomplish by more direct mean.; ; but the public need s not the aid of stratagem or of sie i nterfuge—the turn-e open and direct its course, the more Certain its success. The time is one for the enunciaf.on of practical truths, which are certain to find a reF:ponse in the national bosom, however "interested individuals may shrink from their promulgation. Blame is cas..e pon the people for not returning more Li 'bend Rerxesentatives to Parliament under the extension of she Siiifr‘aga - mide by the Reform Act ; but of what ad van;sagu is th, extension of the Suffrage without protection tn. its exercise ? It is too much to expert the electors of tioen.L Britain to encounter the persecution so frequently ran in so many evays co tsequeat upoa the open exercise of 'the franchise, especially when, after the utmost sacrifices, the party el4eted may prove unworthy of the trust reposed in him. If the Ballot were in operation, so that the elec tors might exercise an independent and unbiassed vote, I:nen, indeed, might they be with justice accused of allowing unworthy and unfit individuals to be foisted into the repre sentation : but where the eleckrs are exposed to all man lier of undue influence, espeerly the vengeance of land lords, it is too much to expect them to prove martyrs to a cause, to whb h, even by their martyrdom, they cannotinsure a faithful advocacy. We look with deep anxiety to the result of the meeting to be held in Palace-yard on next Monday. At is incumbent on those who have taken a prominent part iu popular proceedings now to come forward and give a frank exposition of their sentiments. The working men "have fairly invited discussion, and promised en attentive consideration, even to the opinions of those who differ from them ; therefore, in the present crisis., no Member of Par liament, calling himself Liberal, will disehargebi s duty to the nation, unless he give to his immediate constituents or to the public an upright and rodnly expression of his views on the condition and wants or the country. Westminster bas long led the van ie the march of Reform ; and the pro ceedings of next Monday promise to give additional glory to the locality. The High Bailiff has assented to take the chair : deputations from the counties arc to be present, :and Mr. Leader, with several other Members, have pro mised their attendance, so that the meeting may be looked to with more than ordinary expectations. It is a most de sirable opportunity for the metropolitan Members to direct the current of public opinion to those objects which they believ e to be most conducive to the public welfare. On the Members of Westminster this direction to public opi nion is an important duty. Where is General Evans ? Adecrtiser. The waywardness of the Conservatives is such that they Contriv e to twist tvcry piece of intelligence into a proof of tie decay of the influence of the British Government with foreign powers. 'When we inform our readers that sh e Spanish Minister has been received and the Queen of Spain recrgnised at Constantinople, within a few days be fore the date of the last intelligence from that capital, and that these proceedings arc owing to tho exertions of our reraresentative there, we expect to hear the Times state ;gravely that the Emperor Nicholas has now obtained such an ascendancy in Turkey, that he can afford to allow the Grand Signor to exhibit a little complaisance now and then towards the British Government. Another instance of the influence of the British Government at Constantinople. may equally be misconstrued ; but at the hazard of draw ing into the field such doughty champions as the Mar quis of Londonderry, Mr. Adolf Slade, or any of the other great Times authorities, we will venture to allude to it. Captain Townshend left Constantinople lately with a frigate, carrying orders to Admiral Stopford to cruise about with the Turkish fleet ; and, also, or ders to the Ca pit an Paella to join the Admiral. If a Russian fleet were to cruise about with a Turkish fleet, it would at once be inferred by our Tory Contempo raries that the sun of England was set for ever. We, however, by no means wish to rush into the other extreme, and, because the Turkish Government have the good sense to prefer the English as instructors in naval manoeuvres to any of their other allies, to infer that the English can do everything at Constantinople. It is pretty clear, however, that a step like this would not have been taken were there not a very good understanding between the two. Govern ments. As the English Government can have no interest at variance with that of Turkey, and, on the other hand, must wish, above all things, to see that empire in a situa tion to resist the encroachments of its ambitious neigh bours, what we have stated is at all events a proof that the Turks have the good sense to attach themselves to those who are their real friends, So long as the Turkish fleet is with the British, it will at least be safe. We have already alluded to the commercial treaty which has been concluded be tween the British Government and Turkey. For the last three or four years both England and other Powers have in vain attempted to induce the Turks to consent to such a treaty. The consequences of destroying monopo lies, prohibitions and restrictions throughout the Turkish empire, must, in the first instance, be a great increase of trade, and development of the resources of the fine countries over which the rule of the Grand Signor extends. But the commercial results, however important, are not the only effects it will have. Politically, this treaty will, per haps, be still more important than commercially. It can hardly fail to bring matters to a crisis with the Viceroy of Egypt, who, with all deference to the Times and Mr. Adolf Sleile, only flourishe s by a system which creates desolation nll around him. In Lord Lindsay's Travels, recently pub lished, there is a long letter from our Consul in Syria, to which we all - dried, in which strong proofs were adduced that the Viceroy of Egypt's great talents (for he is undeuhtedly a clever man), were employed solely to forvtard- his own srlish objects, and that his Govern ment was skilfully contrived to work the ruin of the countries over which his sway extends. Permanent dominion etnnot be the result of such a s:, stem ; and with ali deference to the. Tories, the Times, and Mr. Adolf Slade, and the Frenchmen who have crammed him, it cannot he the interest of England, though it may be that of rtussiA, to abet this powerful subject in his attempts to break up the Turkish empire. Lord Ponsonby has had a difficult time of it a ith the Urquhaqs and other wild en thusiasts, who, instead of forwarding his views, have only involved him in difficulties. Between the extravagant nataut of Mr, Urquhart that Turkey is a model for other natiAss, ar:d that the Turkish institutions are all perfect, and the opinion that it is useless to bestow a thought on the Turks, as their empire must fall to pieces, t!terc is a third way of viewing the subject. Ita appears to us that Lord Ponsonhy is quite alive to the defects of the Turkish rule, but that he does not despair of the regeneration of the country under wise and energetic ruler., provided it be allowed Lir play. At all I events, judging from these effects of his agency as the re- prcsentative of the English Government at Coust:intinoplr., we think he is entit:ed to credit for the s:(gaeity and vigour of his prceeeding4. But we ar e prep wed for a chanac iu ties la.o gn •g.. 1 of the To r i es The Times will t.(..1 us that Lord Pansonby ought to bare remained quiet at his post, doing nothing to stir up the jealousy of Russia. It would not at all zurprisa U 3 were our vcrrati!e Contem porary • of Printin •n ,- -house Square to betake it se lf t o prove that Russia is the p3tv,r dr all others which we should he the most anxious to avoid off:ndirra, and that it is really of no cons quenee %ILA becomes ( f Turk y. The at tempt to advocate a di-nlinuberment of Turkey, which the taking; part with the Viceroy of Egypt really is, prep ires us for any extr.aa;an , :e. and any hiconsisteney.---allornio g Chruni le. _ _ --- It scents that a meeting of the popul tea is to take glace in Westmuster or ::sionday next, for the corisid , rat.oll of cc - tan v;:•ry weighty m Ito rs connected with the philosophy of Goevrnment. Frain a Ltter which has been published by the managers of this ii.tetrdcd me,,ting remonstrating against to= I-An:irks of err., Nowspapers on the non-util.ty of Univers a l Sutfra , r, it, m r,1u1..1 appear that these managers arc n:.t wholly destitute of the capactty to state their views With literary pr.:priety. There is neither violence nor coarseness in the manner of their written address, nor any very obvious violation of gra;nmar. Bat there is never theless, a lamentable wi - int of practical good sense. Exci-pt for the plain il , •elaration of the full extent of their revolutionary scrttialents, the document s a vours more of Wbiggcry than of Radicalism, 6.. cause it so confidently. yet quietly assumes dogmas fur axioms, and jumps to con clusion 7., without argument to support, or cridence to con irm them. If this written essay be a fair sample—and it may be presumed to be a favourable one—of what is to be erected from the meeting on Monday, it will, we fear, turn out to be "a display of hnpes formed without founda tion, and of labours pursued without fruit." The points bib: SUN, LO .DUN, §ATTiRDAY, SEPTEMBER, l5, 1838. principally relied 'upon by " the working men" * ti..- ese—that in the United Strowit Nr ..kinerica the de r di:ion of the people f 3 / 4 Ea `very great degree better than it is bere t etka 'ttiti this far butter 'condition is i result of tat fa" more democratic form of dovernlbent wh'e't pre vails in America-. Thal wertAbg men assume the ' truth of these pesitions 'the test Of them being full of dtiulei and perplexity, and the second certainly nnfonded. Let tits . b • give brief consideration to e a ch, the idea Of the ." woikz. • log men" is, that tttelt fellows in the United Statg:# have more instias;:titn, more freedortr, reter‘t. r‘Vver, more fool; Isetter clothes, and better thelter than British Work; men have. This We ao not believe / Vve „;,ow Low hard it it to establish either the, aflirtattve or the negative eft such a matter as they Stilt we think it probable, that we have read as natly, and as authentic documents 'respect ing the people of the United States as any of the " work ing men," and we are perfectly sincere in stating our opi nion that they are utter:y miAaken as to the superior con dition of the labourers in the States. The labourers in America are very frequently placed in circumstances in which they must work much bardee thati English la bourers, and as there is an enormously greater breadth of cultivatable land, in etOportion to the mouths to be fed, than in Enend, the return of feed is much greater. So fe2. , as meat and drink are concerned, the American may be upon the whole better off than the "Englishman. But—though it be true that there i can be no ntisfaction of a higher kind, while the lowest cravings of our nature remain unsatisfied—shou:d we not be doing injustice to the mass of British labourers if we said that food was their chief enjoyment ? Would it not be shocking to contemplate them as so nearly approach ing to cattle ? We think it would. Now in the higher enjoyments —even such as labourers may avail themselves of—the state of the Englishman, is greatly superior to that of the American. It is madness to suppose that instruc tion prevails more in America, especially in those parts which, being least populous, are most profitable for the la bourer. All the authentic accounts represent the oppor tunities for instruction as frightfully limited. In England it is not so. Elucation is not indeed forcel upon the people, but we know of scarcely any placo in which the man who really desires to have instruction fur himself or his children, may not have it at a very cheap rate. Then, as to the most important of all in struction, namely, religious, it is absolutely dreadful to contemplate its condition over a large part of the United States. Surely it is an important advantage which our labourers have over the Americans, that they are not in this matter left to chance, nor one day exposed to the ad dresses of the sneering, scoffing, and ignorant infidel, while the next perhaps some itinerant fanatic comes to work them into temporary madness. But the labourer looks to be something better than he is—if it were not so, the con dition of the Austrian IPasant, where there is no Suffrage at all, is . preferable to that of labourers in America where Suffrage is Universal. And if a rational man looks to the enjoyments of leisure and of society, surely he cannot think that with the bluntness and coarseness, the narrow in formation and extensive arrogance, of Americans, he will bein a better condition than in Britain. Is it to be sup posed that, in the exercise of Universal Suffrage, and in the coarse conflict of political disputation, he will find more than an equivalent for " all the pleasing illusions which make power gentle, aad obedience liberal ; which har monise the different shades of life, and which by a bland assimilation incorporate into politics the sentiments which beautify and soften private society ?" To believe this of Englishmen would be to do them injustice. But if it were true that the condition of the American labourers should be preferred to that which can under the present Constitution be enjoyed by British labourers, still that would not show that by making our Government as democratic as the American, we should become like America in other re spects. The truth is, that uninformed or half-informed people are apt to ascribe far too much to the effect of certain forms of Government upon the general condition and happiness of the people. It seems to be the ten dency of uninstructed human nature to attribute power to whatever it does not understand, and hence the po pular supposition that the form of Government has so much to do with the ordinary cir cums t ances - of the pele.: , ple. If you see a juggler at a fair performing feats of sleight of band, the crowd, instead of •attributing what he does to manual dexterity, are confident that there is some thing very potential in the gibberish which he mutters, as it were to charm things against the course of nature... So, if they see the people in one country nourishing; and in another unfortunate, instead of considering that laziness, or drunkenness, or clumsy carelessness, or minding other people's business instead of their own, causes the worse condition, they are quite ready to attribute it to something in the Government. But men really experienced in the affairs of the world and of politics know how completely wrong this conclusion is, and that the observation of Gold smith is most true— " Of all the ills that human hearts endure, How small the part that laws or Kings can cure I" In saying this, we do not mean to inculcate that political principles, and rules of action, are not of vast importance. We know they are, and we believe that of all the modes of life to which a man of independence and of deep and sound information can devote himself, the most glorious and most useful is the care of the public laws. But the effect of all this is only felt on great occasions, just as the ac tions of the warrior which change the fate of empires, occur only upon some critical occasion, while the general domestic business of the world goes on undisturbed, and nearly uninfluenced by his operations. We may conclude, therefore, while allowing the highest importance to politics, that the general domestic condition of the people is by no means directly co-relative to the nature and progress of legislation and Government. It were not difficult to enu merate a variety of important circumstances which, much more than the difference in the nature of the Government, are likely to occasion the difference in condition between American and British labourers. We might likewise show by a similar enumeration of circumstances, how idle it is to expect that an assimilation of the British Government to the democracy of America should assimilate the domestic circumstances of the two countries. But we are restrained by our limits from entering upon these tasks at present.— Morning Post. Notwithstanding the utter impossibility of satisfying your more insatiable Irish grievance mongers, it is certain that if Sir Robert Peel had not been prevented, three years ago, from carrying the Tithe Bill, whoso---treain pro visions have since been adopted by his factions 'Supplanters and passed into a law, the Right Hon. Baronet's measure would have been attended with a comparatiiely peaceful . and beneficial operation, which the tardier adjustment. of the question by Whig hands is by no means likely to secure. The plan of settlement, as originally proposed by Sir Ro bert, was a wise and righteous one. Of course, to satisfy the enlarged views of such sublimated politicians as Lord Howick, was what it made no pretensions to any more than the analogous Bill which has lately been forced down his Lordship's noble throat by hisown colleagues; but that thelrish Tithe measure emanating from the Conservative Ministry of 1835 was really fitted to remove the evils of the old system, and to place tithe property upon an equitable, permanent, and inoffensive footing, may fairly be presumed from the fact, that even after all the increased local irrita tion occasioned by Whig caprices and delays during the last three years, its original opponents have not been ashamed to give it their ultimate sanction as a highly di g ble and adequate settlement of the whole question. Until very lately, however, the Whigs saw the matter in a totally different light. When panting for that restoration to office, which in the absence of Popish and Radical assistance was hopeless, they not only inveighed against Sir Robert Peel's Bill with patriotic energy, but pledged themselves to the appropriation ekes.; just as eagerly as they would have promised a‘le htion itself or any other demand in the world, if the temper of the Court and country had afforded the least encouragement to such a demand, or the smallest prospect of realizing it. After they succeeded in getting into power, this same farce of " appropriation" has been brought forward by them for three successive seasons, with' all the usual puffings and embellishments that could he sipposed to give it a long run, and make it draw p:.ofita ble houses, till the substitution of some fresher novelty might enable them to put it quietly on the shelf. To keep their corps dramalique together, as well as to prolong their own lucrative receipts, was what these managers eared for. The appropriation piece was, therefore, kept in nightly play, varied by such occasional changes of character and accompaniments as might impose it upon public endurance to the latest possible hour. First of all, we had " appropriation" performed as an abstract principle : then, it was exhibited in the c increte : anon it was to be played part passe with the Corporation Art in full ; presently the Bills announced that it would he given with the latter considerably Lbr:dged: a id thus, ha‘iag found that these devices and delays had ried them sufficient time so to bribe and Lus'i the learned author of " appropriation" with the sops of patron age, as would probably induce him to resent its abandon meet with only a hitelcss bark, they have sagaciously con eluded that they might at length venture to withdraw it from the stage without much danger to their company, and accordingly the farce of " appropriation" has been seat to sleep with the tr,g; , dy of " Don Carlos." Of course, Sir Robert Peel's ish Tithe Bill, which the Whigs have now f:,;l.‘n back upon, i in all essential merits, as good as er ; but for purposes of Irish tranqullity, its value has been greatly injured by delay. O'Connell, though not s 11 in:; to break with his soppers, whose treatmer.t:ef " ap propriation" he has virtually countenanced, con,istently declares,that what would have satisfied him three years aeo he will row reject with scorn. His noble cuckoo, Lord How ick, ascending a note or two higher than his learned trainer, asserts that it is neither possible nor de sirable that the Irish Papists should be content with it. by the ci.latnry, hypoctitiell rink factious condUct ,of the ! !'§eri't, 9 1 , ..e'nents of i'r'ritatio n dnu tesel i t i th L ee t i Vie healVtietlit - o . peratioe, wliticti give the a much leas Chance of success than it would other s ise haVe had. Besides the hopes held out by their ap prOpriAici promises, the *hole etyle and Char.-Week. et tliCir Irish policy has beat skich tks naturally tcf. awaked Pflimi; the Paiii?es toe nioat e Wnvagatit pxpect n z rinoffending Protestant inagistratett be e n_ wa9tottly ;, ahti-ilthe agitators have been petted acid t, 4 t-britoteti ; the conviction •of Popish cri ilnats has been discouraged ; legal processes for the recovery of tithe arrears have been allowed to become_ peri!ons in adoption and unproductive in issue. We say, then, that after such doings and undoiegs on the part of the Whigs for the last three years, their dupes among the Popish priesthood and populace, though highly reprehensible ftgr obstructing the peaceful operation of the recently p asse d Tithe Act, can scarcely fail to be indignant on finding, that notwithstanding their Whig-nursed e xpectations of tithe abolition and Church equality, their hopes, at the eleventh hour, are blasted, baffled, and betrayed. The parti e s t o whom the incensed Papists justly impute their disappoint ment, andaseribe whatever responsibility may at tend . the prae tical frustration of the New Tithe Act, are her Majesty's Mi nisters and O'Connell. Against the latter personage espe cially, certain symptoms of distrust and hostility are mani flsting themselves, which, if followed up with any spirit, may probably do more justice to Ireland than he himself will be disposed to sanction. Father Davern, of Knock any, an acute priest in the county of Limerick, who h es begun the insurgency in that. quarter, appears to wield hi s weapons with a lustiness of vigour proportioned to the known callousness of the hide he has to deal upon. The Rev. mutineer, while showing O'Connell up to his deluded countrymen wit consummate skill, calls upon them to p u t no further confidence in that arch-deceiver, and contends, that whereas the Popish community had already ahOlished tithes by dint of pitchforks and powder, the which the pretended Liberator first sanctioned and now denounces affords facilities fur the recovery of those dues that were formerly unknown. The Tories, bad and black e 3 lie is pleased to deem them, are, in his re verend judgment, a thousand times preferable to the Whigs! His letters, two of which we have published as curiosities in their way, are meant to keep up a raking fire upon the enemy during the " Precursor" campaign ; but unless a reinforcement in Father Davern's favour be got up by his cloistered and consecrated brethren, his shot, we fear, will be comparatively harmless. Meanwhile his balls arc reddening and whizzing; in all directions, and apparently with some effect.—Tinted. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

ARNOLD " Please to direct for me, at J. Quilter's, solicitor, Lincoln." The Lora) MAYOR gave directions to the police on the sub ject, and said that most probably the circumstance would ap pear before the public in some shape or other. BOW-STREET. Yesterday afternoon, Henry Myers, against whom a war rant was issued by the Coroner in July last, charging him, along with Mrs. Angelina Pow (acquitted at the last Sessions of the Central Criminal Court), with the wilful murder of Thomas Davidson Pow, was brought to this office in the cus tody of police constable Benjamin Burton, 43 F, and placed at the bar before Mr. Tw vroan. _ _ . Mr. Burnaby, the clerk, asked the prisoner if it was he against whom the Grand Jury had found a true bill, charging him with the wilful murder of Thomas Davidson Pow ? Myers—l am the person accused. John Alexander Hall, a fringe-maker, deposed that he knew the prisoner, who is the person standing indicted for tho murder of Thomas Davidson Pow. He recognised the prisoner in High Holborn about a quarter to two o'clock, and pointed him out to the contable, Burton, who took him into custody. Mr. Phillipson, a gentleman who accompanied the pre ceding witness, gave similar evidence. The prisoner said that he intended to surrender at the commencement of the Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and was proceeding, when apprehended, to get some of his witnesses subpoenaed. He would have surrendered last Session, but, being advised by his Counsel, not to do so, he did not come forward. The constable deposed to taking him into custody. The prisoner was asked if he had any thing more to say at present. Myers—l shall reserve what I have to say until the trial ; but, were I to speak, I might say a great deal. The prisoner was then committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A poor woman, in a great fright, applied to Mr. Chambers for an assault warrant. She lived, she said, in Grosvenor mews, and while in her room that morning she was alarmed at the sight of a monkey that had contrived to make its way unperceived into her apartment. The animal skipped about, meddling with everything it could lay its paws upon, and at last it found its way to the cupboard, where a " day's" food bad just been stowed. There was likewise a morsel of Irish butter. Both description of viands the monkey seized. The gambols of Pug, after his refreshment, became so annoy ing, that attempts were made to effect his capture. The ap plicant, however, was soon convinced of the inutility of her efforts, for Pug finding himself bard pressed, jumped on her back and began biting her clothes with great ferocity. One of the lodgers, in addition, had an infant in arms so fright ened by the monkey that whenever it was put down the child went into fits. Mr. CHAMBERS could not grant a warrant against the mon. key, but would direct one of the officers to bring the owner before him. Ina short time the owner made his appearance. He ex pressed his regret for what had occurred, which in some mea sure was unavoidable, as the monkey had got loose from its fastenings. He added, lam a modeller by trade, and as many noblemen and gentlemen wish to have the figure of a monkey on some piece of ornamental furniture, I keep the animal to model from. Howexer, I have no objection to promise that I will immediately get rid of it, by sending it to the Zoological Gardens. Mr. CHAMBERS—And, in addition, I hope you will give the poor woman something to buy food with, for your monkey. ate up all her allowance of parish bread. The owner of the monkey promised to do as requested, and Pug, who had his tail in a tin cannister, will henceforth have his rambles restrained by Zoological cages. MARYLEBONE. A tall stout man, with a particularly dirty face, and a nose of considerable longitudinal dimensions, was placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged by Mr. Cutmore, an eating house-keeper in the Hampstead-road, with having conducted himself in a very riotous and abusive manner. The prisoner, who gave his name ,Charley Law, is better known by the appellation of the " Lmhy Dustman." It appeared that - on the. previous night the prisoner who was very drunk, entered the shop, and throwing himself on one of the scats, called out as loud as the hiccups would per mit him for a plate of beef and the usual etceteras, which were promptly supplied to him by the waiter, who being aware of his customer's habit of sneaking tff without paying, demanded cash on delivery, at which the dustman felt his dignity greatly insulted, and refused to sup upon any other terms than the usual credit, viz., until the meal was finished; in order to prevent any disturbance, he was permitted to de molish his supper, which having done he was about to depart in the same " ungentlemanly" way as before ;:but he was again reminded of the &ht. when without further ceremony he said " He'd be d—d if he'd pay a penny of it," and as be abused Mr. Cutmore and his wife in a most infamous way, he tva given in charge. Mr. SHUTT (to the Dustman)—What have you to say for yourself ? Dustman—Vy, I says this here, yer Vorship. I aint none of your " flying dustmen, but one of the riglar right sort, which the ham and beef man knows. I've gat a hintenahun to pay all I coves him, and he shan't lose not a blessed mag, not by Charley Law, vot never cheats nobody votsom never. _ Mr. SHUTT—You had no r 7 ght to call for a meal if you could not pay for it. Dustman—Please ycr Vorship, I'd bin home for to change my vaiitcut, and if any other gen'i'man had done the same, he might hare bin vithout blunt for to pry vith as veil as m)self. Complainant—He only comes to my house when be is drunk. Dustman—Cos Ty, I ain't got no happetite 'cept at sick a time, and that's all about it. ?dr. SHL'TT-WiII you settle for your supper, cr nit ? Dustman—That I viii. Here Sarah (adlressing his wife) hand us over a hob. Sarah did as she was directed, and Mr. Cutmores demand 'vas satisfied. The dustman's " best and dearest friend" also paid 55., the penalty for her lord and master's drunkenness. Sarah and the " riglar" dustman then lift the office. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Mary Moore and Jane Saunders were brought before Mr. ROGERS, charged by James Bottomley, of No. 16, Sion -terrace, Brunswick-square, with having stolen a gold wedding-ring; under the following circumstances : The prosecutor being sworn, stated that on Thursday night last, between eight and nine o'clock, his wife was seized with a fit of apoplexy, when, an alarm being made, the prisoners and several of the neighbours entered the house for the pur pose of rendering assistance. Witness sent for a doctor, on whose arrival he recommended leeches, but wished to know whether they would be paid for. Tee prisoner Moore, who bad hold of his wife's hand, said, " You need not be afraid of the money ; here is a gold ring, which will be sufficient to pay you," showing the ring to the doctor. The prisoners went for the leeches, but on their return the woman was dead, and the ring was missed off her finger. Several persons were in the room, and a search was proposed, when the prisoner Saunders refused to be searched except by a policeman , and o n e bein g called in she was searched, but the ring was not found upon her, and both prisoners were given into custody. Witness made inquiries, and traced the prisoner Saunders to have offered a ring for sale, at a jeweller's in Somers Town, which answered the description of that stolen. The prisoners denied the charge. Mr. R. G ERS said there was not sufficient evidence to detain Moore, but he would remand Saunders, in order that the ring might be traced. QUEEN- S QUAL? E.
